Stokes: Bowlers’ Opportunities Will Arise 'Naturally'.

Captain Ben Stokes believes that fast bowlers will get their chances “naturally” after England announced they are keeping the same team for the third Test against the West Indies on Friday.

England has already secured the series 2-0 but chose not to bring back Matthew Potts or give Dillon Pennington his debut for the third Test at Edgbaston.

James Anderson retired after the first Test, and the England management wants to focus on developing younger bowlers.

"We've kept the same team because we don’t think changes are needed," Stokes said.

After the West Indies series, England will have a break of nearly a month before facing Sri Lanka in three Tests. This summer, the only change to England's XI was Anderson's replacement by Mark Wood for the second Test.
